Well, it happens exactly what the code says ;). RAqua is spending all 
the time in those loops like this one:

    while(!InputFinished & !HaveBigBuffer)
         Raqua_ProcessEvents();

(This one comes from Raqua_ReadConsole)

Since in Raqua_ProcessEvents you simply call ReceiveNextEvent with 
kEventDurationNoWait, the function returns almost immediately and is 
called again ... so in effect you are hogging 100% CPU. I'd suggest 
using either some sensible timeout or kEventDurationForever.

Cheers,
Simon
